What does HASTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Speed or urgency in doing something, especially when action is hurried and allows little time for careful thought.
People act with haste when time pressure outweighs the usual care taken over a decision, which is why the old proverb warns that haste makes waste, meaning rushed work often turns out worse. The phrase in haste describes any hurried action, while make haste is an older, more formal way of telling someone to hurry. Writers sometimes use haste to suggest anxiety or panic behind quick movement, as when someone leaves in haste after receiving bad news. Despite its slightly old-fashioned tone in some phrases, haste remains common in everyday speech about rushing through a task.
